This was like a Phillipa Gregory lite.
We had a possibly illegitimate daughter of a King that may have been a real person. Frustrated with her lot in life, she pretends to be a teen boy so she can learn Latin and try to go to university. + Some Scotland vs England history mixed in.
While I appreciate a woman trying to take control of her life, especially in a time when it was so hard for any woman to do so, if not impossible, I HATED the hero and his terrible friends and think this would've been better as a historical with no romance.
That being said, the romance wasn't very heavy in this book in this book at all. Overall, I want to have fun with my books right now (especially if I pick up a Harquelin) and am not looking for a debate on sexism and a woman's worth.
